TotalEnergies, ENI Sign Agreement to Export Cyprus Block 6 Gas Through Egypt
TotalEnergies and ENI, partners in Cyprus offshore Block 6 (TotalEnergies 50%, ENI 50% operator), have signed a Host Government Agreement (HGA) with Egypt and the Republic of Cyprus related to the development of Block 6 gas resources.

Signed during the Egypt Energy Show (EGYPES) with the Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources of the Arab Republic of Egypt, Karim Badawi, and the Minister of Energy, Commerce and Industry of the Republic of Cyprus, George Papanastasiou, this agreement is a key milestone towards the development of the Cronos gas field. Located in Cyprus Block 6, Cronos field was discovered in 2022 and successfully appraised in February 2024.
The agreement provides a framework allowing the Cronos gas to be processed in the existing Zohr facilities offshore Egypt and then liquefied in the Damietta LNG plant in Egypt, for export to European markets.
Following the signature of this agreement, the Block 6 partners will now proceed with the Cronos Development and Production Plan, in close collaboration with Cyprus authorities.
“TotalEnergies is pleased to be part of the opening of an export route through Egypt for Cyprus gas,” said Julien Pouget, Senior VP Middle East & North Africa, Exploration & Production at TotalEnergies. “This Host Government Agreement represents a major step in valorizing the Cyprus gas through available LNG capacities in Egypt, contributing to Europe energy security by bringing additional LNG volumes.”
In Cyprus, TotalEnergies also has interests in Block 11 (50%, operator), Block 7 (50%, operator), and Block 8 (40%).
